1442-Start McsService and CheckinService at boot.

Alexandru Chircu requested to merge alexch/GmsCore:1442-GCM_disconnect into dev

Description

Start McsService and CheckinService on boot; this fixes the issue that on a newly flashed /e/, Google Cloud Messanging does not always connect to Google's servers and so newly installed apps don't receive notifications until a later time (usually until a reboot). Lowered default GCM heartbeats to 60 seconds (from 300 seconds).

Type of change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

How has this been tested?

Replaced the original GmsCore.apk from e-0.9-n-2020051153544-dev-herolte, flashed to phone. Observed that Google Cloud Messaging connects a couple of minutes after /e/ starts (Settings -> MicroG -> Google Cloud Messaging). Installed Signal, observed that it registered in Google Cloud Messaging, observed that Signal does not ask to always run in the background.
